I feel like, when the audience connects with something, they enjoy the experience so much that they want other people to go have it. They're like, "Don't talk about it. Don't tell. Just go!" It's a nice feeling to have people coming around it that way, protecting the ideas in it, so that everyone can see it for themselves.

I think sometimes big budget means explosions! CGI! CGI, the possibilities are so limitless that it begins to be impractical.

One of my favorite stories growing up was 'A Wrinkle in Time'. I loved that book.

If you play it safe every time, then you're missing the best part of acting. You haven't learned anything about your humanity.

The most intoxicating thing about being an actor is to surrender to a story that you never would have come up with.

I'd love to do anything that is outside of my comfort zone, that I've never done before. Whenever I think about something that I want to take on, I like it if it makes me a bit nervous, or makes me feel like I don't know exactly that I can pull it off.

Nothing seemed as scary as waking up at 40 and realizing that I had not lived a very courageous life.
